Tag Anywhere for Donkey Kong 64 makes it at least playable in this day and age (I still don't think it stands up but it removes the most annoying part of the game).
Master of Time for Ocarina of Time is incredible.
Super Mario Star Road is basically a direct sequel to Mario 64.
Tomorrow Never Dies is a 13 level new Bond game based on Goldeneye 007
still don't think it stands up
How dare you. You monster. It was one of my favorites as a kid.
... but it's a fair criticism. Game is mostly jank held together with hope.
Oh it was one of mine too. But the amount of times you have to slog back and forth across the same 6 or 7 poorly designed maps, fighting the same 4 or 5 enemies and doing the same repetitive tasks gets old very quickly.
It looks fantastic (for the N64) but the sacrifices they made to get the higher fidelity textures and dynamic lighting, including some horrendous object pop-in distract from the visuals.
Also, the inexcusable difficulty spikes make it a very frustrating game (looking at you Beaver Bother and that annoying bug race) and the mini games are an annoying bit of dragging the game out rather than the fun diversion they were meant to be. And who's decision was it to make you have to get through the whole of the original DK arcade with only one life?
Rare had a genuine hit with Banjo Kazooie and they kept trying to replicate it and just ended up piling more and more stuff onto the formula and made it worse each time. Though if any of their platformers stands up today it's Conker's Bad Fur Day.
Mario Kart Amped Up and Smash Remix
Mario Kart Amped Up looks fantastic!
